MORAL VALUES FOR YOUR KIDS
Importance Of Family
Family is an integral part of kids’ lives. It shapes and nurtures them into adults. Therefore, it is important to give your children a sense of family and help them understand why family is important.
Respect
Many parents make the mistake of teaching their children only about respect for elders, Everyone deserves respect, regardless of age or social standing. Respect is an essential moral value that your child must know about at a young age, as it plays an important role in his/her behaviour around strangers and elders.
Have Regard For Religion
Your child should be brought up, not just to respect his own religion. Teach your children, from a young age, that all humans are equal, regardless of their religion or the festivals they celebrate
Be Sincere
Sincerity/honesty is always the best policy, and your child must be encouraged to tell the truth regardless of whatever mistakes he/she may have committed.
Be Accommodating
Teach them from a young age that it is absolutely necessary to adjust and compromise, only if their own life is not at stake here
Have The Mind Of Helping Others
Your child must be taught to help others from a young age, even if it may be a complete stranger. You have to teach your child why helping others is so important and how you always get it back when you help someone.
Fairness
Your children must always be encouraged to speak up when they perceive a wrongdoing, for their own benefit or for the benefit of the others.
Stealing
Teach your child that stealing is a wrong thing, not just legally, but also morally as well, as it means that he/she will be taking something that belongs to someone else.
Do Not Harm Anyone
Explain to your child that harming someone is not just a physical problem- any harm can have a psychological and emotional effect as well. Remember to teach your children how to apologise.
Develop Love For Education
A love for education must be cultivated in the child, right from preschool, and you should also try to get your child to understand the importance of education in life.
